Chapter 340 Grammy Clearance Record
Yu Yu took the brothers on the other end of the video for a walk outside the hall and introduced them to a group of celebrities that they had only seen in the media before. Most of them were frequently active in their European and American playlists. By the end of the acquaintance, the brothers had even begun to feel calm.
However, ever since a certain bird almost made the sound of a boiling kettle in front of Beyoncé, he said that Su Xing would not be allowed to speak on the microphone no matter what, as he was afraid that he would have to boil water again.
After walking around outside, Yu Yu walked into the hall with his mobile phone and saw Taylor talking with "Harry Potter" Harris near his seat.
The position arranged by the Grammys is also quite realistic. When Yu Yu participated in the Grammys for the first time, his position was in a remote corner of the back row, but now he is placed directly in the center main C position, surrounded by well-known superstars.
Taylor had his back to him when Yu Yu approached, but Harry Potter was the first to see him. This young male singer, born in the 90s, who rose to fame in the boy band One Direction and made his own name after their disbanding, is now one of the favorites for this year's Grammy Awards.
It is worth mentioning that he and Taylor were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend. After they broke up, Taylor's "Style" was written for Harry Styles, and Taylor's figure also runs through Harry Styles' three albums.
Although Yu Yu and Taylor were not familiar with each other when they were together, they heard about each other from time to time after they became friends.
In Yu Yu's eyes, they were like the right people who met at the wrong time. In their youthful, impulsive years, their love was passionate, and after breaking up, they naturally missed each other. But once they were apart, they were apart, and there was no question of whether they could leave or not.
Ha Juan greeted Yu Yu and joked, "This year's Grammy belongs to you, but don't tell me you'll come back next year."
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the sudden release of "DAY 3", Harry Styles' "As It Was" would have really been unstoppable, and he might have been the best-selling album in Europe and the United States last year.
Unfortunately, no one expected that Query, which had been silent for a long time, would suddenly appear and use a big move.
"I can't say for sure," Yu Yu said with a smile. Of course, with the hood on, no one could tell if he was smiling or not. "But I'm sure that even if I'm not here next year, Taylor will definitely be here."
"Yeah, next year I'll be right where you are this year, waiting for you to give me your award," Taylor said.
"Ma'am, you seem to have forgotten that I am still here." Harry said seriously.
The three of them were chatting and reminiscing about the past near Taylor's seat. Taylor was sitting by the aisle steps. It was the peak entrance time and there were people coming and going. They didn't want to stand there and block people from passing, so after chatting for a few words, they decided to go back to their seats.
At this time, Taylor also saw clearly that Yu Yu was holding the mobile phone all the time. In fact, he was not adjusting the instrument for a "selfie", but he was making a video call with someone.
Looking at the two avatars without cameras turned on, one was called Cyrus and the other was Chinese, Taylor knew that Query was Cyrus who debuted in China, and he instantly understood who the person opposite him was.
"Oh, are these 'those' friends of yours?"
"That's right, time is almost up and I have to hang up the video. Can you come and say hello at the last minute?" Yu Yu raised his hand and framed himself, Taylor and Harry Juan in the camera.
"Hi, friends over there, I hope we can communicate face to face one day and get to know you better." Taylor immediately smiled and waved.
Harry also raised his hand: "Let's play together when we have time... Speaking of which, friends over there, if this person also owes you a song, welcome to join our Victims' Alliance to urge more songs."
"? When did this alliance appear?" Yu Yu looked at him in surprise.
"I just created it." Ha Juan laughed.
Yu Yu rolled her eyes so the other person couldn't see, and the camera panned around. Those who had no idea what was going on, but who greeted and even acted strangely to steal the spotlight when they saw the camera, also cheered.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Yu returned to his seat, put his phone to his lips and whispered, "Okay, brothers, I really have to hang up. I saw the security guard over there looked at me several times. I'll rush over to meet up with you when I'm done here. We can have a toast together then."
Elsewhere, in a hotel room in the Porcelain Kingdom's capital, the six older brothers watched the camera capture their proud and moved younger brother. Their heads, dizzy from the nearly hour-long "surprise gift," finally recovered. They couldn't help but mutter to themselves, as if Yu Yu were standing right in front of them.
Chen Fusheng: "Get all the awards you deserve and come back safely. When the time comes, it won't be a toast, but three glasses of wine as a penalty."
Su Xing: "Three cups might not be enough. You know, the amount of money we spend depends on how many prizes we win."
Wang Yuexin: "Our QQ Fish is a real stick-killer. It's been like this this year, and if he releases another album next year it will be the same...Okay, from now on I will urge him to make a new album. This has nothing to do with selfish motives, I just want him to win more awards."
Zhang Yuan: "I'm very calm and composed now. Well, I'm a calm and self-controlled man. No matter how many awards Yuyu wins, no matter how big they are, I'm used to it and won't cry out... WOC ahhh Sam Smith!!"
Wang Zhengliang: "Xiaoyuan, you even forgot Adele. Seeing our Xiaoyu sitting among a group of musicians, why do I suddenly have the illusion that my child has finally grown up? It must be an illusion. After all, Xiaoyu never grows up. When he grows up, won't he transform from a fish into a plant-like (big fish) crabapple?"
Lu Hu: "Brother Liang, you performed very well this morning. Just like Yu Yu, you will also perform steadily later. Hey, I wonder how many new commemorative pendants you can bring back. I want 100 million."
Although they still didn't turn on the microphone, Yu Yu definitely couldn't hear what was said just now, but they knew he must have felt it, because they saw that after Yu Yu hung up the phone, he looked at the official camera and suddenly raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.
Among the audience watching the live broadcast from all over the world, only the six of them understood that Yu Yu's gesture was not a like or a feeling of greatness, but a toast to them using their gesture.
Even later, when she went on stage to receive one award after another, Yu Yu held the Grammy phonograph trophy with a thumbs-up gesture.
They were enjoying the conversation about their implicit brotherhood in the presence of a large group of guests.
This was the case with Wang Zhengliang at the Spring Festival Gala and Yu Yu at the Grammy Awards.
Because there are so many Grammy awards, there are awards for everything from popular pop music to niche a cappella. Many of these awards are even presented backstage and people don't spend time on stage to receive the awards.
So the Grammy Grand Slam recognized by the outside world now refers to winning the Grammy Awards for New Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year, the four biggest awards in the comprehensive categories.
So what are Yu Yu’s current gains?
Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song are, relatively speaking, just appetizers.
Song of the Year and Production of the Year were finally the main courses.
The final Album of the Year award hadn't been announced yet, but many people at the scene had already begun to look at Yu Yu, who was sitting calmly and leisurely with his legs crossed. Even the live broadcast camera couldn't help but frequently cut to him. On the Internet, countless fans and media outlets eager to capitalize on the popularity of the song joined in a carnival feast for Query.
Because he has created new history!
Query won the Grammy's New Artist of the Year Award the first time he participated in the Grammys. After that, he also won the Song of the Year and Album of the Year. Four years ago, he even won both awards at the Grammys. Unfortunately, he missed the Record of the Year. Otherwise, he could have won the Grand Slam four years ago.
At that time, everyone thought that sooner or later he would become the third Grand Slam singer in history and officially become a god. After all, judging from his condition, he was not a middle-aged or elderly person. He was still young and was expected to sing for another forty years.
But unexpectedly, instead of a decade, in just four years, he became the third person in the world to achieve the Grand Slam! It can be said that the Grammys, the temple of music in the minds of many musicians, has been conquered by Q God. So what will be his next goal?
Perhaps only the "EGOT" Grand Slam - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards - can match his current strength.
The Album of the Year award, originally scheduled to be announced last, had a lot of attention and popularity taken away by the newly crowned Grammy Grand Slam singer. When the final host and award presenter, famous talk show host Trevor, took the stage, he also made an impromptu mention of Query's newly-minted Grand Slam honor, both as a joke to liven up the atmosphere and as a congratulations.
Then, he began to announce the winner of the final grand prize, and clips of the ten candidate albums scrolled on the screen in a timely manner. Yu Yu's "DAY 3", Beyoncé's "Renaissance", Harry's "Harry's House" were also among them, and of course there were works by Adele and Coldplay. However, in comparison, Yu Yu's biggest competitors were only Beyoncé and Harry.
Unlike his brothers on the other side of the ocean who were beginning to calm down from their excitement, holding their breath involuntarily, and even more nervous than himself about receiving the award, Yu Yu seemed too calm as he sat in his seat.
Having already won the Grammy Awards, he is not obsessed with the Album of the Year award he has already won. In fact, he is not keen on these awards and rankings. For him, winning or not will not affect his pursuit of his music.
So, when Trevor opened the envelope and read out Query's "DAY 3", amid the cheers and applause of the audience, Yu Yu stood up calmly, hugged the people around him who were congratulating him one by one, then turned around and waved behind him before walking onto the stage, completely grasping the elegance and demeanor of a big boss.
After receiving the trophy for Album of the Year, Yu Yu stood in front of the microphone stand, and the noisy crowd below the stage gradually quieted down.
"Actually, I've already thanked everyone I could thank about Query during those four times I came on stage. What else can I say to get through these 60 seconds?" Yu Yu, who stunned the whole audience with his natural Bking aura, started with a self-deprecating remark, which made the people in the audience laugh again.
"What? Sing a line? That's a different price. Ben, I'm going to charge you at least $800 for this seat."
"Just joking, if you want to come to my concert, I'm willing to give you a VIP ticket. The rest of you don't have to blame me for being partial. After all, he's Batman, and I'm the Riddler. What can I do?"
Amidst the laughter, Yu Yu continued with a smile, "Actually, I've never considered our musical journey a journey. Pursuing music and making good music is what I enjoy, and music has always been my dream. So any bumps and thorns along the way are merely necessary scenery in my pursuit of my dream."
"Maybe today I'm standing in this magnificent temple holding the supreme trophy, and tomorrow I'll be standing on a corner of the street, becoming a street performer, playing and singing alone to passers-by and the hustle and bustle of traffic. None of this matters. What matters is that I'm enjoying music, feeling music, embracing everything that music brings me, whether good or bad, and moving forward together with you, a group of like-minded musicians."
"So, finally, I want to thank you, my friends. Because of you, music can bring joy and touch people. Because of you, I can stand here. This trophy is a recognition of 'DAY 3' and also a recognition of music. Thank you."
Yu Yu looked at the audience (camera), held up the trophy high, and raised his thumb just against the speaker of the gramophone.
The phone in his arms kept vibrating because of the frequent messages it received, and the sound of his strong heartbeat played a chord in his heart.
